			Big Mikeys killah Hose Tops
		
			
				
					I grabbed a few shot of the two pair of Big Mikeys hose tops that I bought recently.  I like 'em!  I was a bit concerned with the bulk, as folks might remember from a post I'd made about a month ago, so Mikey sent me both a "regular" pair and a "lightweight" pair. So now he's diversified, and I think you can probably order whichever you like.  If you have *Big* calves, get the "regulars". If you have more normal sized calves, get the "reduced" set.
 I told Big Mikey that I wanted to match my X Marks kilt, and sent him a picture of the socks these were going to go over. As you can see, I'm slowly diversifying my choice beyond just white socks...though I still have two pairs of white ones...*ahem!*
  I used to have some black socks and I just hate them. I do NOT like the look of black kilt hose on myself, but I found this dark gray pair at a vendor at Enumclaw, and thought I'd take a chance on 'em. 
 Anyway, here are some close-ups, shot with zoom, inside, in a mirror. I'll send along some head-to-toe pics, taken outside,  soon.

					I think Big Mikey's hose tops really set off the hose and the kilt.  I wear my pair with my Flower of Scotland kilt  by default.

	That was my thinking, when I bought them. I'd actually  hoped for a lighter gray, but when I saw them, I  thought they'd do well with the X Marks tartan...what's $25?  So I handed over the MC.  They were purchased at the  Black Knights favorite kilt outlet!

					Looks good Alan.  I agree with Jamie.  The dark gray hose and those tops makes a great combination with the XMTS tartan.

					They look great!I'll need to get a pair when I get some money together!
 It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
